Harry styles Olivia Wilde

According to a source, Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have taken over the spotlight since they are “more serious than ever.”

The singer, 28, and Wilde, 38, met in September 2020 on the set of their film Don’t Worry Darling. They made their first public appearance as a couple in January 2021, when they attended a wedding together.

 

Since then, they’ve been “finding ways to make things work” despite both of their hectic schedules. “What appeared to be a flirtation at first is now a devoted relationship,” the insider reveals.

“Harry is completely captivated,” the source says. “Olivia has definitely awakened his amorous side. When it comes to work, he also has a lot of regard for her. He’d love to collaborate with her again. They both encourage one another’s professions.”

Styles was questioned about Wilde and falling “in love” on a movie set earlier this month when speaking with Howard Stern for the latter’s SiriusXM show. Instead, he lauded Wilde’s directing abilities.

“Acting may be really painful at times. “I believe you have to have a lot of trust,” he remarked, adding, “Being able to trust your director is a gift.””

And Wilde applauded her boyfriend’s work ethic as well: when she revealed the teaser for Don’t Worry Darling at CinemaCon, she called the production “ambitious” and claimed Styles’ performance is “really a revelation.”
